A History Of The First Baptist Church Of Goldsboro North Carolina PDF Download

Excerpt from History, First Baptist Church, Maiden, North Carolina N o effort has been made to include controversies or any matters of an unpleasant nature. That these have existed periodically is only natural and peculiar to all. Churches; however, The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones. It is our pleasure to take pride in the good. With the publishing of this history, First Baptist Church of Maiden embarks on a new phase of its journey. Although we face a new world and a new program, with out precedent to guide us, our yesterdays will aid us great ly to enter successfully into tomorrow. The light of the past will help show us the best path for the future. Just as this history is like a ladder with each pastor as a rung rungs of equal rather than ascending importance so the days of our future history may well form the ladder that leads the church into greater success and significance in the Master's Kingdom. Our wealth of tomorrow depends upon our deposits today. Yesterday we lived in anticipa tion of tomorrow-a tomorrow with adequate buildings and people and ministry. While we may be tempted to live on yesterday's dreams which have become today's realities, let us shun the temptation and move forward and upward upon the rungs of the great spiritual ladder which our great Creator has placed before us. May the joys and de lights of those who pen our history seventy-five years hence be as great as have been ours as we have penned the history of those who have preceded us.
